Gardening and Nature
“My garden is an honest place. Every tree and vine are incapable of concealment, and tell after two or three months
exactly what sort of treatment they have had.”
"Henery Ford (1863-1947)"
“Train up a fig-tree in the way it should go, and when you are old sit under the shade of it.”
"Charles Dickens (1812-1870 )"
